WDJ Adobe digital Signatures

Hello SDN,
I have to implement Digital signatures in my Webdynpro interactive forms. In sdn I found one example related to online Interactive form security but for offline I couldnt find.
In offline scenario, a user will send pdf form to customer or employee etc to fill the form and send it back.
1) Here how a receiver will know that he got the form, from an authorized person?
2) Once the form is filled and send it back, how receiver can validate whether the filled form came from an authorized person?
3) Also how exactly I can use digital signatures? what are the technical requirements for implementing digital signatures?(SSL is mandatory?)
Can some one guide me on this?
Appreciate your help.
With regards,
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
Digital signatures can also be created and verified as of Adobe Reader 5.1. Users can use the Adobe Acrobat Reader to display and print files in PDF format, whose content and appearance correspond to the paper version, on a cross-platform basis. The prerequisites for this are the use of the new Adobe Document Server for Reader Extensions and the replacement of SmartForms by Adobe Acrobat (this is still in development). SSF is not used.
Adobe Document Server for Reader Extensions assign additional usage rights to electronic forms that were created with Adobe Acrobat 5.0 and Adobe Form Designer 5.0. Digital signatures are a type of usage right.
Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.1 can be downloaded free-of-charge from Adobe's Web site, and processes the usage rights that were embedded in PDF forms by the Adobe Document Server for Reader Extensions.
for SSL service go through:[https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/media/uuid/40cacc80-c1fc-2a10-f8b5-9e33b1829552]

If U have to implement digital certificates, from where I can get these certificates? Do U have to create on my own or need to buy from some party?

Fault in adobe digital signature revocation checking schema

Hello,
I have found some fault in adobe digital signature revocation checking schema. If OCSP response signing certificate contains CRL distribution point (in my case CDP (CRL) and AIA (OCSP)), online OCSP check executes, but after getting all chain certificate OCSP responses, validating signature against CRL (it’s looks from Local cache). It means you never get OCSP validation data in Adobe Acrobat or Reader signature revocation tab.
Adobe Revocation Checking Quick Key schema is following:
Check      Embedded revocation responses
Check      local CRL cache C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application      Data\Adobe\Acrobat\9.0\Security\CRLCache
Check      Online OCSP response
Check      Online CRL response
LAB environment:
Certificate      chain E-ME SSI      (RCA) (Root Certificate) -> E-ME PSI (PCA) (Policy Certificate) -> E-ME IS (CA1) (Issuer certificate) -> User      certificate (Document signing certificate)
Sign      PDF document (Ocsp-CHECK.pdf)      using Adobe Acrobat 9 with User certificate (Don’t add revocation information in signature)
Test steps:
Sign      PDF document using Adobe Acrobat 9 with User certificate (Don’t add revocation      information in signature)
Clear      Local CRL cache under C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application      Data\Adobe\Acrobat\9.0\Security\CRLCache
Open      signed file using Adobe Acrobat 9 or Reader 9
Verify      signature. Verification process finishes successfully. Under signature      properties in certificate windows and user certificate revocation tab you      can see that revocation information data comes from CRL. The same for all      chain certificates. But if we look in chain and user certificate its holds      AIA record for OCSP service.
After      a couple of tests I tried to disable access for Acrobat to local CRL cache      folder (Everyone – Full control deny).
After      disabling access to local CRL cache folder - verify the same signed PDF      file. Opening document you can see OCSP checking progress and verification      process finishes successfully. Under signature properties in certificate      windows and user certificate revocation tab you can see that revocation      information data comes from OCSP. The same for all chain certificates.
Resolution:
Its looks when Adobe starts online OCSP checking and receives OCSP response they start parsing OCSP response signer certificate and check OCSP signer certificates revocation information. In this process CRL for OCSP signer certificate is downloaded and placed in Local CRL cache C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\9.0\Security\CRLCache
Somehow when Adobe gets all chain certificate OCSP responses and have verified also all OCSP signer certificates, online OCSP check is no more continued and revocation information are taken from Local CRL cache.
Can you please help me to clear how to deal with this problem, to make sure that procedure works correctly?

Hi,
Just try creating that signature again on that form. Sometimes, copy might not do!
Thanks,

Installing ADE - cannot verify Adobe digital signature

On up-to-date 64-bit Windows 7 Home, I am unable to verify the software publisher when installing ADE 1.7.2, and so will not install the software. Both digitaleditions.exe (available via the ADE home page "Launch" button) and the "manual" install file setup.exe give warnings like so:
Do others experience the same message when trying to install ADE 1.7.2 on a clean system? Is there a certificate update I'm missing? Is the software really not recognizably signed?

Digital Signatures for cProjects Approval

Hi Folks,
I am on cProjects 4.5 and from what I understand there are 2 options for this based on whether or not I check the "Signature of Approval with User Certificate" box in Project Type config.
Unchecked - user is prompted for cProjects password and this works fine. Only issue for us is, we are on the portal and most likely cProjects password will be different and unknown to user. As per note 928527 this is standard behavior and tough luck for anybody on the portal.
Checked - use is given the ability to digitally sign the PDF approval document. When I select "sign" on the PDF I am given the ability to create a new ID or use an existing ID from a file, server etc. I created a new ID and signed the document. Once I do this and click the transfer button the system appears to hang. The progress indicator appears and keeps going.
Therefore my questions are:
1. Is there any additional config I need to do in cProjects. ADS or anywhere else?
2. How exactly does adobe digital signatures work? If anybody simply create a signature how does that provide any verification of authenticity?
Appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Lashan

Hi,
please see teh Configuration Content for cProjects 4.5 available in SAP Solution Manager and also as PDF attachment to SAP Note 1035436.
There it says:
Making Settings for the Approval
Use
You can use user certificates for digital signatures of approvals.
Prerequisites
● You are using Microsoft® Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher.
● You have a user certificate that is suitable for digital signatures (for example, the single
sign-on certificate).
● You have installed Adobe® Reader and Adobe Document Services.
Procedure
To verify the signature, enter the corresponding root certificate in the certificate list of the
Personal Security Environment (PSE, transaction STRUST). For more information, see the
documentation for the activity and the Adobe Document Services u2013 Configuration Guide NW
2004s on SAP Service Marketplace at service.sap.com/adobe u2192 Media Library u2192
Documentation.
In fact, what is described in the ADS documentation referenced above is that you have to install
the certificate also on the ADS.
Kind regards,
Florian

Digital Signature Validation process goes into unending state

Hi all
I am working Adobe Digital Signatures in Web Dynpro Java applications. I have been using [this|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/media/streamingmedia/developer-areas/user-interface-technology/interactive-forms/securing%20online%20interactive%20forms%20by%20adobe%20(Session%208)/index.html?slide=] webinar to follow steps to configure SSL and validation of Digital Signatures.
After doing all necessary configurations, I am able to run my web dynpro applications containing interactive forms in secure mode.
But when I sign with digital signature and try to validate the form, the application keeps on processing and shows no result.
I tried debugging my application but control does not reach my button action code. I am clueless.
I would be thankful to receive any hints or pointers from you.
Thanks in advance.

Certified digital signature

Does anyone know how I can assign a digital signature to a PDF document, a word or pages document or an email message using Snow leopard?
Thanks
OF

You can download Adobe Digital Signature here.
http://www.adobe.com/security/partners_cds.html
Goggle "Digital Signature for more"
Also, if you have Adobe Acrobat or Acrobat Pro it's built-in.
EDIT: There's nothing in SL and also note that not all institutions accept digital signatures.

Digital signature is invalid

We have created adobe captivate video in "exe" format (Using Captivate 5). It has a adobe digital signature, but it is not proper (Invalid digital sign). So we want to remove that old digital sign and put our digital sign. How to remove digital sign from exe?
We used "FileUnsigner.exe" from here. It has removed that old digital sign and after that we have signed with our thawte digital sign. But after signing, that exe is not opening. How can we solve this issue?
Or any other option to publish that exe without digital signature? So that we can put our digital sign later.
Please anyone help as soon as possible

Hello there,
I'm not sure whether the signing would work with this exe but my question was if you are able to create the exe and playback without signing it.
Thanks,
Vish

Using iText to generate a digital signature that can be signed in Adobe Reader

I am able to create a digital signature in a pdf using iText. Adobe Reader does not allow that digital signature to be signed. Everything I have been reading suggests that I need to enabe Reader Usage Rights, but that requires using Adobe Pro. I was hoping that I would only need Adobe Reader inorder to digitally sign the pdf, is that possible?

Not without the required rights...

How do I delete a digital signature in adobe acrobat 8 as it has been spelt incorrectly?

A digital signature was created in adobe acrobat 8 professional but has been spelt incorrectly - how can I delete or edit it?

What if you do this:
To delete photos from your device
In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
Choose "Sync photos from."
On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
Click Apply.
But I do not think it will work since you can only sync/unsync with one iTunes library and the iPod sees the rebuilt computer as a new iTunes library.
- Do the following to restore the iPod and not lose anything:
- iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music
- If you have synced photos then you need a program like TouchCopy or PhoneView which are paid. They also do music.
- Connect the iPod to the conmputer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices iniTunes and slect Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup
Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

How do I remove a digital signature from Adobe Acrobat Pro. I have set it up wrongly.

I created a digital signature but I wanted to change the signature and it also was not password protected. So I deleted the signature but cannot delete the certificate to set it up again.
Mac OS X (Operating System)
So I am unable to delete the digital signature in Acrobat Xi pro.
I did the following: Adobe | Preferences | Signatures | Creation and Appearance Preferences and deleted the signature. But Adobe | Preferences | Signatures | Digittal ID and Trusted Certificate Settings, does not want to delete.
Tank you.

It's not clear to me what you're trying to accomplish. If you get rid of your digital ID you will still be prompted to create/add one when you need to sign a form, which you say you still need to do? Do you really just want to e-sign (hand-drawn signature, or stamp) instead of digitally sign? Do the forms you're using have digital signature fields?

How to create a digital signature in adobe reader

how to create a digital signature in adobe reader?

Adobe Reader Touch (Windows Store app with "modern" UI) does not support any types of signatures yet.
Digital Signatures with certificates
Electronic Signatures (that are legally enforceable)
Signature annotations (hand-writing annotations which may not be secure and legally enforceable)
Adobe Reader XI (traditional desktop app with classic UI) supports #1 and #3.
Adobe EchoSign supports #2.
Adobe Reader for iOS/Android supports #3.

Digital Signatures with Adobe Reader

So i created an adobe form with acrobat 9 and sent it out for all to digitally sign. about half are getting an error when they try to sign it. "The credential selected for signature is invalid"
We are a government agency and use Common Access Cards (CAC) certificates to digitally sign with.
i was hoping someone out there could either point me to a good recource for adobe and digital signatures or to a possible fix.
now we have narrowed it down to the problem being with the specific machine. the user can digitally sign the document on another machine, but not on thier own machine. Also, no one else can sign the doc on thier machine either.
Thanks in advance!

issue still exists. ive been searching for some info on how adobe handles digital signatures, like what folders are created on the machine. im thinking maybe i can clear out the app data for acrobat or something. im at a loss at the moment.
